Without your website as a resource, boards would be in the dark on a lot of issues. Thank you for your website! -Ty W.

I LOVE your website. I think I use it 10x a day! -Lou Ann B.

You have the best website I have ever seen. What an education! Thank you. -Hans N.

The Davis-Stirling website has been a tremendous source of information for the little person who serves on a board. Most of us have good intentions, however don't really know what the hell we need to do to represent the average homeowner and I am sure you know what good intentions get you, in trouble. THANKS SO MUCH. -Joe C.

In addition to laws passed each year by California's legislature, our courts of appeal and supreme court add "case law" by interpreting statutes.

We added approximately 300 cases to the website which are indexed alphabetically by name.

I am pleased to announce the addition of a new page to the website that organizes cases into categories and summarizes the relevant holding of each case. We hope you like it.

I am pleased to announce significant upgrades to the Davis-Stirling website that improves speed and enhances security against hackers.

Our website is the largest of its kind in the industry with thousands of pages of content, over 700,000 user sessions per year and over 3 million page views.

To protect the website, I hardened the site against web threats such as denial of service attacks, malware, and spambots.

To improve service, I cached the content to handle heavy traffic wihtout slowing down service. It makes everything lightening fast even under heavy usage.

For six years our association failed to achieve quorum, thus elections have never been held and finalized. This past year we amended our bylaws using Davis-Stirling.com’s recommendations to eliminate quorum, proxies and cumulative voting. In addition, we instituted qualifications for directors. Davis-Stirling.com was invaluable for the research that was needed to accomplish this task. In my opinion, there is no better reference for any subject matter than your website. I have the app for mobile devices installed on my Blackberry and use it at every board meeting I attend. I am happy to report that out of 317 homes, we gathered 240 votes for this election. The highest ballot count in the history of this association to reach quorum was last year at 39 votes. Again, I would like to commend the law firm of Adams Stirling and especially Adrian Adams and his staff for their exceptional work in this area of HOA Law. -Richard P.

This was GENIUS!! -Helene S.

THANK YOU>>>THANK YOU>>> THANK YOU>>>> -Marj P.

Your website is a godsend! -June A.

I use your website all the time. It is easy to use and an extremely helpful tool. -Sharon B.

Amazing website. Thank you so much. -Annette K.

We have a new look to the website. My tech wizards gave it a face lift. You will notice a color change, more graphics, and a more textured background. We also tweaked the search engine to give better search results of our extensive database.

I just wanted to add also how much all the managers I know appreciate the Davis-Stirling website, how open and informational it is. It has been a fantastic resource in this business. You can quote me! -Cheryl H.

I an pleased to announce a major upgrade to the Davis-Stirling website. Since it was first launched in January 2004, content on the website has grown exponentially as we've added forms, statutes, case law and articles, together with thousands of internal links.

New Internal Structure. To accommodate the data and the heavy traffic, we overhauled the internal structure of the site. A team of developers transformed our website into a database driven ASP.NET website with a customized content management system.

More Power & Speed. Powerful caching algorithms were added to deliver pages at faster speeds. In addition, we moved to a high performance hosting service, which allows us to accommodate higher usage during peak traffic hours.

Search Capabilities . Finally, to make it easier for you to find data, we embedded Google's search engine into the website.

I would like to thank you folks for this (my first) newsletter. I am currently a board member and was turned on to your website several months ago and have found it to be a veritable gold mine. I often research questions on your website and am able to bring up my findings at our board meetings. I subscribed to your newsletter after hearing you speak. Your presentation was excellent, informative and I came away with several things our HOA should address. I look forward to future newsletters. Thanks for everything. -George L.

Genius and hilarious...thank you for your fantastic newsletter! -Maureen B.

I love your newsletters!! -Stacey K.

I always enjoy your Davis-Stirling Newsletter, not only for information but for the delicious sense of humor. Whomever creates your artwork is a genius. The milk carton "Missing Board Secretary" and broken lead pencil on today's Newsletter are worth a good chuckle. Keep up the good work. You are appreciated and enjoyed. -Kathryn C.

Adrian, I like your no-holds-barred, like-it-or leave it replies. As a manager who always has to try and give a politically correct response, you often say how I feel. I particularly liked: “Reading my newsletter is like watching a scary movie, sometimes you have to cover your eyes.” -Cassie T.

I had to scour the globe but I believe your useful, entertaining & well written newsletter rates right up there with the car club newsletter I receive from New Zealand. -Greg M.

Your newsletter is a hoot. I look forward to it every Sunday. -Norm S.

Often on the opposite sides of the political fence, I enjoy your emails immensely. Mostly because they just make sense, and can recognize the difference as my one boss used to say, between pepper and fly shit. -Chris C.

OH, MY. I always enjoy your newsletter but this one was a WINNER!!! I needed the laugh because sometimes I get so upset with people doing dumb things. I wish them the best with their prostitutes and drugs. You are right the dogs will go with them. -Theresa M.

While many of your replies are humorous, your response to the pit bull quandary was hysterical. The images conjured up in my head will last the day, along with the smiles. Love your style!! -Lisa I.

After 35 years in my townhouse, I moved into a single family home last year. No more steps! No more HOA! Yet, I continue to look forward to my weekly newsletter from you. Keep up the excellent advice with tongue in cheek humor. I love it! -Natalie M.

Your newsletter has been so informative and useful over the years. I just love it. Concise, well written, to the point, and usually discusses an issue we've had to deal with at one time or another. Thank you. We value your newsletter. I believe you've helped a lot of people. -James F.

Wow! I didn't expect a personal reply! Your newsletter is the most informative one out there! -Claire

Your discussion of an attorney’s bullying conduct as a board member (and probably in other environments) was terrific. As always, the discussion was concise, completely accurate, and will certainly be enormously helpful to lay people being threatened by one of “our own.” Kudos. -Joe M.

You totally crack me up! In this day and age where political correctness is often taken to the point of absurdity, you can still pull off some great "tongue in cheek" humor. Good for you! -Judy M.

If you ever decide to change careers, Adrian, may I suggest writing satire for The New Yorker? Even if the topics don't always apply to me, I know I'll get a laugh--sometimes from the questions themselves; sometimes from your answers. Please keep it up. -Lee H.

As always, your newsletter is superb. In an area of law practice which deals with conflicts oddly similar to family law disputes you are a voice of reason. Your good advice to Boards surely results in better governance, and happier owners. -Joseph P.

Thank you so much for your service. It is very much appreciated. I have a notebook just for your newsletters, almost time to get a second one. -Gary S.

Your recommendation re "Herb Garden" is a hoot! Your newsletter is such a painless way to get our dose of Association reality. Keep up the great work! -Nancy H.

Like, like, like your newsletter! -Gerry J.

I want to thank and compliment you on your terrific very readable newsletter. I anxiously anticipate it each Sunday.-Bob A.

I truly appreciate your wicked humor and your very useful comments on life in an HOA. -Ron V.
